Just like summer tyres, there are faster and slower winter tyres.

Schwalbe Marathon Winter and Nokian W106 tyres roll out pretty fast but have a less aggressive tread so can spin on snow while the Schwalbe Ice Spiker and Nokian Extreme are knobby studded tyres that are quite a bit slower but can roll through pretty much anything.

The tread compounds are softer so they will run slower when it is warm and wet but perform better at sub zero temps.

I roll my own... and they roll out rather well.
